Anyone going to Disneyland on October 31st?
 

I will be making my second annual Halloween trip to Disneyland this Friday so I can check out all the villains. Anyone else planning on going?

No

Our Prudence is:

I would like to go. We'll see what actually happens.

I specifically arranged my schedule so that I wouldn't be working -we'll be there.

Tentative yes.

Maybe. I sold my ticket to the game that evening....

Going Trick or Treating at Knott's Haunt!!

Hmmmm... I'd love to, but won't have a car that day.

perhaps

Another evening of Halloween Haunt with dear friends.

Yup one last night at Haunt with friends this time around. It's our yearly tradition with Monsters Trick or Treating (have to buy candy to give out to monsters) it's so much fun. :) I love handing out candy to the monsters. :)

Heheh, I'm making my second annual Halloween trip to the WeHo Halloween Thingy, so I can check out the incredible costumes (among other things) ;)

I will be there in the late afternoon and evening. It's been - GASP! - over six months since I was last at the resort. not a record, but it sure freaking feels like it. xD

Soooo.... Who's going, and when? I'd love to be able to go during the day, but won't have a car. Bill and I have plans in the evening.

I'm still trying to figure out my schedule. If I go, I'll give you a ride, John.

You did it again!

Thanks!

I've got my market during the day, but afterwards, I'm thinking an informal swanking would be fun. Depending on how busy the market is, I could be on my way from Downtown L.A. by 3 or 3:30. Weho's a lot of work, that, frankly, I'm just not up to this year.

How costumey could we get, and still be let into the park? GC's BumbleBrad could cause ALL kinds of confusion. :evil:

I'm warming to the idea. Haven't been to the park in a while, would love to see some Halloweenyness.

I am still going. Sorry for not organizing this, but I had to leave town for a couple day to attend a funeral.

Should we meet at the Hub at Noon or something?

I'm going to try to be there at opening, as long as I can drag my sorry ass out of bed on time. I'll try to remember to bring my cell, and if I do, I will even turn it on! ;)

We might be eating at noon. (or possibly not. Depends!) If we miss the noontime - anywhere/when we can meet up? Who all has my cell # that's going to be there?

We'll be arriving some time after work.

I'm going to pick up JW Bear sometime tomorrow morningish and drag him on a dog walk, then go to the Park. I don't know how late I'll stay, but I want to at least see some villains, decor and ride HMH.

I have to work first, but I'll do my best to get out early to join some of you before you leave

Chris and I will be doing the tag-team approach that day.

I have to get my paper half done if I want to come play. Considering it's not even started...


If I do make it, it will be tomorrow night.

I have a new camera! It wants to take pictures of swankers!

I need to leave by 6:00pm to catch The Rocky Horror Show, but I hope to see as many LoTers as possible.

I'll see youse guys tomorrow! I haven't seen most of you in a while - Silent Running? - so, yay!

NA, I don't have your current phone #, would you mind PMing me, or just calling, so I can update my contacts. And be able to find you tomorrow!

Do we have a roll call for who'll be at the Park after work? Is everyone leaving for the Rocky? It would make a big difference to me as to whether I'd like to commit the freeway time or not. I'm in if you're in. (Hopefully) see you guys tonight!

We'll be arriving ~7:30ish (sorry we'll be missing Szczczczcbikakckk and any other early folk).

You might be able to hear madmonkeygirl screaming tonight, all the way from Knott's. :D

So, are people dressed up or what?

It's unf*cking canny how often I get stuck at work late on Fridays on which I was planning on going to Disneyland (neither of which occurs very regularly anymore, yet always seem to sync up).

CP just got to the park, I'm still in test world.

I was there from about 1 until 6. There were a SAD amount of Vilians out and about. SM was told that the Big Bad Wolf would be over at DCA and i was VERY excited and even had a great photo set-up planned. Alas, no Wolf for me. We did see Frolo and the Queen of Hearts. Whoop.

First, we honed in on Pru and SM's table an ha some lunch (Borneio joined is as well). We then rode Mansion and Pirates then went over to DCA to take a few virgins on Midway Mania. Chris arrived just in time to join the game. We wandered over to the Blue Sky Lounge (or, whatever it's called) then stopped at Burrrrrrbank for an Ice Cream Appetizer (ie: dinner for me).

SM, JW and I had to take off just as Cheeseman arrived (Pru went off to study for MA). Last I heard, GD was still at work but CP arrived and the trio of cheeseman, Euro and CP were having a snack on Main St.

Just got home after midnight grocery shopping for milk. Both the 101N AND the 5N were traffic jams. I was sorry to see NA, JW, and SM leave, just as I got to the Park, but I was pleased to find out that Gyro would be staying. We inspected Pixie Holler and smelled Soarin' Over Mansion before CP joined us. From there, our "snack" at the Plaza Inn, Cobb salads big enough to feed 3 Thai families. Then a meander through N.O. Square, and a spooky train ride back to Main Street where we were joined by Pull-My-Finger String Sheriff Woody. I finished my night with a ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures (the brass apple's back!) and a t-shirt purchase at the Emporium.

Nary a villain to be seen, but plenty of kids (and a few adults) in costume. Some of those adults were just plain wrong. Ask CP about Tinkerhell.

After concluding my MA study session, there was getting SOAKED on GRR, dinner at Storyteller's, two rides on Space Mountain (had fastpasses from earlier and someone gave us another set as they were leaving - apparently we're some kind of fastpast magnets), a ride on Buzz, and two peeks at the 80s all stars set (I'm becoming kind of a fan) and then a Disneyana stop to pick up a couple more main street miniatures -- where I learned that my bank had put a hold on my account because *GASP* I had used my card three times *in the same day* *at the same location.* Thanks, WAMU, for trying to save me from myself. You suck. Go away. Then, after LITERALLY an hour of hold time and arguing with them on the phone, it was karaoke time.

It's really not that much different than the other days surrounding Halloween Time, a few more costumes, but that's about it.

I'm still considering going

Had a fun time at our mini-meet. If anyone feels that the Happy Haunts are still an MA threat, I'd like to mention that I had no idea Pixie Hollow existed. :blush:

No villains in sight (what, too dark and scary for them?) but I did get to see plenty of revelry. I'd say 75% of visitors had something Halloweeny on, from a simple orange t-shirt to full on costumes for adults. I wish I could un-see the saggy boob-ed bit-too-old Tink who was in full get-up. (That's a lot of hyphens.) How some of these costumes got in was beyond me. I wasn't in the mood for wearing Sally anyway, just my trusty trick-or-treat reflector and my Burtonesque stockings, which, sadly, have seen their last year. Everyone was in high spirits and the park was just within tolerably busy levels.

Whoooo arrrrre yooooou?

We never did hit the Mansion as poor GD was toast after a long crappy workday. He didn't make it to the park until 9:30ish. Another time!
